I can be summoned and dismissed. If I'm dismissed they can resummon me if they want.

He nods.

Do you want any help?

What can your magic do besides floating canoes and interdimensional transit?

In theory, there may not be any limitations on what it can accomplish. In practice, new capabilities are slow to develop, at least when approached with appropriate caution. What I have so far is something like a more comprehensive version of your imperviousness to significant harm, and this communication ability, and a few minor personal conveniences I developed in the course of working on everything else, and the floating canoe of interdimensional transit.

I was in the middle of resurrecting some people but even if I get back I can't do them all.

I can't think of a starting point for developing resurrection using taieli, but the magic of my home world is known to be capable of it, under conditions that last held sixteen centuries ago.

The entities I can't resurrect were magic incorporeal thingies.

I wouldn't expect that to make a difference to a god, but I've never personally met one and they're hard to come by. Still, if we found my world, I could look for one after I have everything else sorted out.

(The concept of 'god' comes across with oddly specific connotations, hints of an underlying magic system, and for some reason the implication that gods invariably have multiple personalities.)

I'm going to be really curious about your magic once I'm less concerned that somebody will at any moment come in and wonder why I'm not paralyzed any more.

We could leave. The flying canoe of interdimensional transit can also teleport within a single world, and it's much better at that since I was able to test it. I'd just need a destination.

This world is similar to where I'm from but - not close enough that I'd be confident about any guesses I could make about where would be safe - but it'd probably be safer than staying where they put me, I'm surprised they didn't have cameras on me such that they've already noticed. What about a destination do you need?

He sends an impression of the kind of targeting information he can work with. Approximate distance, approximate direction, and a clear image is best, but other kinds of location-specifying information will do in a pinch.

I think we're in the central time zone in the US based on the TV and the clock (that is this verticalish band of a country) and there may be some usually-deserted beach west or northwest - image, range of distances it might be depending on where in the time zone they are -

He returns to his canoe, which is still floating in midair, and puts his hands on it and gently pulls it apart lengthwise. The material—is that some kind of granite?—stretches implausibly until there is room for them both to sit in it comfortably. Then he gets in and motions for Cam to do the same.

Cam climbs awkwardly into the canoe.

Now the canoe is on a beach. Is it appropriately deserted?

Close enough, yeah. Thanks.

It was no trouble. If we're interrupted I think I can take us into space but my education in astrophysics was patchy, all my testing was done in a universe containing only one planet, and vacuum is mildly uncomfortable.

...I can solve all three of those problems, actually.

Oh?

I mean, I could also just get us into space without teleporting but I really don't know what to expect from the local magic - you at least they didn't pounce on as soon as you showed up -

I've noticed you can make things, and I assumed this included air but am mildly surprised about planets and even more surprised about 'an education in astrophysics', unless that happens to separately be your field of study...?

I mean I can make planets but it takes weeks, what I meant was this seems to be an Earth and I know what the other planets in the system should be. I know enough about astrophysics to use software that knows more about astrophysics competently.

...'Software' isn't quite coming through legibly, I don't think it's a concept I'm familiar with.

...Algorithms that take data about planets and my position and so on and tell me where to expect the moon or whatever to be?
